Project Title:
Compassionate Action: Healing the Mind, Body & Spirit
Project Description:
The
activities of this project include One on One Counselling, Group
Counselling, an Elder Outreach Program, a One Step Ahead Youth
Mentoring Program, and delivery of Gatherings, Socials and Healings. These methods involve group interaction, sharing and listening, cultural teachings and spirituality. We
believe that these methods will affect change because they will provide
support, validation, education, prevention and early intervention and
active doing. Metis people learn from performing actions rather then monotonous lectures. The
goal of the project is to break the cycle of abuses and assist Metis
people, Metis families and the Metis community in their move toward
healing and self-reliance. Given this, the project methods and
activities will encompass all the elements of healing and wellness from
a holistic perspective: mind, heart, body and spirit. All of these parts are interdependent; and to restore balance each of the parts must be whole.
